BIO

Dr. Sakshi Jasra is a physician in the Hematology and Oncology Division at the University of Vermont Medical Center, managing myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemias, Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Her work is driven by a clinical interest in clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential, myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemias, Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma.   

More importantly, Dr. Jasra’s greatest mission is to care for people at a difficult time in their life, and she feels grateful for this opportunity. She centers her care around treating patients how she would want her own family treated. By making them feel as comfortable as possible during their visits and forming meaningful relationships with each patient, she feels, allows her to provide the best care for her patients.   

To further improve her quality of care, her research interests include exploring mechanisms and clinical relevance of clonal hematopoiesis, barriers to improving oncology clinical trial enrollment in rural populations, novel treatment approaches for myelodysplastic syndromes and acute leukemias and the application of cellular therapies in hematologic malignancies.
